Concrete Contractor in Edgemont, Calgary
Edgemont is one of the NW’s original communities, and its concrete shows it. We replace the cracked 1980s driveways, walks and steps — including the ones heaved by 40 years of mature tree roots — with slabs built to last another generation.

What concrete looks like in Edgemont right now
Edgemont went up in the 1980s, which makes it a generation older than most of the NW around it. The original driveways and front walks are now 35 to 40 years old — not aging, finished. There is no repair argument left on most of them.
What sets Edgemont apart is the tree canopy. Four decades of growth means mature roots, and roots are patient. They lift and crack walkways, tilt driveway slabs, and pop sections of front walk into trip hazards. You cannot pour over that and expect it to hold; the root has to be dealt with and the base rebuilt, or the new slab heaves the same way.
Edgemont also sits against Nose Hill Park on reactive NW clay. When a 1980s slab loses its drainage to a settled apron or a lifted joint, the clay underneath swells and shrinks with every freeze-thaw cycle, and the cracking accelerates. The fix is a proper rebuild, not a patch.
Concrete services we run most in Edgemont
This is replacement country. Almost everything here is tearing out tired 1980s concrete and pouring it back correctly:
Driveway replacement
Full tear-out and re-pour of original 1980s driveways that are past repair.
Walkway & path replacement
Root-heaved front walks rebuilt level, with the base corrected so they stay that way.
Steps & staircases
Replacement of settled, tilted front steps to safe, code-correct rise and run.
Breakout & haul away
Clean removal of old slabs and root-bound concrete before the new pour.
What concrete costs in Edgemont
Current 2026 Calgary ranges. Edgemont jobs are replacements, so the breakout line and any root or base correction belong in the budget.
Includes site prep, compacted gravel sub-base, forming, rebar, 32 MPa air-entrained pour, finishing, control joints and cleanup. Sealer quoted separately. Root removal and rebuilding a base disturbed by tree roots are the two things that move an Edgemont number.
Why Edgemont homeowners call us
Old concrete and big trees are a combination that trips up newer crews. They pour over a heaved walk, the root keeps growing, and you are cracked again in two seasons. We dig out the cause, rebuild the base, and add root barriers or re-route the slab where it makes sense — so the new pour actually stays flat.
Every Edgemont pour gets the full spec: compacted road-crush base, 10M rebar grid, a 32 MPa air-entrained CSA mix for freeze-thaw, control joints at 8–10 ft, and a protected 28-day cure. You deal with owner Leonardo Aiello directly, and the work is backed by the Alberta New Home Warranty Program.
Edgemont concrete questions
A tree root lifted my Edgemont front walk — can you fix it for good?
Yes. We remove the heaved section, deal with the offending root, rebuild and compact the base, and re-pour level. Where a root will keep pushing, we add a barrier or shift the walk slightly so it stays flat instead of cracking again next year.
My driveway is from the 1980s — can any of it be saved?
Rarely worth it at that age. Forty-year-old concrete with scaling, wide cracks and a settled apron has reached the end. We give you an honest on-site read, but in Edgemont the math almost always points to replacement.
Can you match the old exposed aggregate a lot of Edgemont homes have?
We can pour fresh exposed aggregate that suits the established look of the street, though an exact match to a 1980s mix is not realistic — the stone and cement have changed. Most homeowners use the replacement as a chance to refresh the finish.
Do you work the streets backing onto Nose Hill?
Yes, throughout Edgemont including the Nose Hill edge. Those mature lots are exactly the root-and-clay combination we deal with most here. We assess drainage and base condition on site and quote it straight.
